The room is humming and buzzing with
enthusiastic discussions and exchanges of viewpoints between the
hundred participants that have come from thirteen countries in Eastern and Southern
Africa for this week’s KM&L ‘sharing and learning event’ in Nairobi.

| Open Space - sharing of experiences |
We are at the end of the second day of the
workshop and it is evident that a lot of learning has been going on ‘out
there’, back in the project and country programmes. The participants are eager
to share and learn from the varied experiences presented.
From the afternoon’s “Open Space” session
where interesting experiences (from “Household mentoring”, to the “Usefulness of
E-libraries”, to discussions on “how to de-mystify the “KM&L monster”, plus a lot of other interesting experiences) are
presented and discussed, we have Valentina Sauve from the Learning Routes
Programme in East and Southern Africa – ROUTESA, presenting “Learning Routes: A
Knowledge Management and Capacity Building Tool for Rural Development”:
Valentina Sauve: “We do Knowledge Management in
practise”......!
Valentina continues: “The Learning Route is
really just a very practical and down to earth tool for knowledge sharing and capacity
building that combines local knowledge, innovation and good practices from the
field with a pedagogical strategy. The aim is to build a knowledge management ‘device’
to impact the users’ practices and performances within their associations and
home territories. The Learning Route has proven to be a powerful method for
fostering capacity building through peer-to-peer sharing of knowledge,
experiences and good practices”.
